What is a regular cab vs crew cab vs extended cab?
These days trucks are everywhere. Gone are the days where pickups were vehicles made for work and utility. These days, trucks can be optioned to be as luxurious as the most well-known names from Germany. So, whether you want to cruise in style or require a workhorse, there is a truck for you. Once you figure out if you must have 4-Wheel Drive (or just Rear-Wheel Drive), the next big decision is to decide which cab size is best for you.
A regular cab pickup has one row of seating with a small amount of legroom and storage space, as the name implies. A regular cab pickup truck was once the single way to purchase pickups. In most regular cab pickups, the seatbacks almost touch the back part of the cab. This style is the more utilitarian version of a truck and is normally found with manual windows and locks. A regular cab is made to work, not for hauling your friends and family.
As one might expect, an Extended Cab pickup truck (can also be called a Double Cab ) is basically a Regular Cab with extra space behind the front-row seats. When it was first introduced, extended cab pickups were just available as 2-door models and only had small jump seats behind the front row. These days they may be called a Double Cab pickup truck, these trucks now have a second row of small doors for access to the rear cargo area. While there are 2 rows of seats, an Extended Cab pickup truck would not be the best option for road trips, even though it can haul more passengers.
While not as apparent as the other cab types, a Crew Cab truck features 4 full-size doors and the room to hold, well, your whole ‘crew.’ Crew Cab pickups are designed to carry more stuff and-or people. In some circles, these pickups have become the family vehicle. A Crew Cab pickup’s powerful engines and larger size are unmatched in the sedan segment while still providing the luxuries and passenger legroom that families desire.
